In 2012 the City secretly terminated the program, with bikes going for a while to a for-profit business, later being auctioned off in LA.

Ironically, the new program managers are having a hard time a...

Will drought relief money be used to support overpumping Delta water? 
"Secretary Jewell's announcement mentions that $5.37 million will be available for Delta needs for drought monitoring of endangered species, and to increase flexibility in water operations,” said Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, executive director of Restore the Delta. “What we fear is that this spending plan will translate into funding to manage the system so that the greatest amount of water is exported to big agribusiness growers on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley."
